CBD Flower

CBD flower comes from the hemp plant. Hemp is part of the cannabis family and contains very high levels of CBD (cannabidiol) and low levels of THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol). People have started to enjoy CBD more for its mellow, soothing effects that keep them relaxed and very few side effects! 

People have utilized the hemp plant for thousands of years to take advantage of its many beneficial effects. However, in recent years the popularity of CBD has gone through the roof. Millions of people around the world take it daily to alleviate their worries and elevate their overall wellness. CBD is very well-tolerated with extremely rare instances of mild side effects. 

Here at Cheef Botanicals, we partner with the finest local farmers in Oregon and Colorado to produce top-shelf premium hemp flower. They use greenhouse and light-deprivation grow technologies and select only the finest buds before hand-trimming them to perfection. The best product is a clean product. That’s why these farms we source our hemp from only use organic farming methods with non-GMO crops.

Also known as “Girl Scout Cookies” and “GSC.” This strain is an Indica-dominant Hybrid with gentle, relaxing effects.

However, it also features earthy, citrusy, and umami flavors, creating a unique and complex flavor profile.

Hawaiian Haze

Genetics: (Hawaiian + Haze)

This strain captures the feeling of a chill day on the islands. It has a tropical scent and a fresh floral flavor. Oddly enough, this strain has rather subdued colors, mostly pale green, contrasting with its bold terpene profile and stimulating effects. A Sativa-dominant hybrid, Hawaiian Haze offers all the energy of a sunny day at the beach so that you can experience the joys of paradise for a longer time.

Sour Diesel

Genetics: (Uncertain. Either Chemdawg + Skunk #1 or Chemdawg + Diesel)

Sour Diesel is another strain whose name perfectly characterizes its terpene profile. This Sativa-dominant strain has a pungent, gaseous aroma and a strong citrusy taste. Sour Diesel is one of the most popular cannabis variants in the world, renowned for its uplifting effects. The best time to consume this strain is in the morning. You can expect a slight energy boost, bringing clarity and focus without the tension and jitters associated with caffeine.

Lifter

Genetics: (Suver Haze #50, Early Resin Berry)

One reason why this CBD-rich strain is highly sought after is its complex cannabinoid profile. As the name suggests, Lifter is an uplifting Sativa dominant hybrid. This strain can be motivationally stimulating and may help to improve mental focus or mental clarity. Thanks to its Indica side, Lifter may also ease tension to help users relax and possibly improve sleep quality.

Lifter has a strong aroma often described as a “sweet funk” coupled with undertones of citrus and tart berry. The smoke is not as strong as the smell. Lifter will treat your taste buds to a pleasantly subtle mixture of woodsy and sweetgrass flavors.

ACDC

Genetics: (Cannatonic, Ruderalis)

This popular strain has earned several cannabis cup awards, thanks to its high CBD content. Typically ACDC has around 20% CBD and 0.5-1% THC. It’s 50% Indica and 50% Sativa which makes it a perfectly balanced hybrid.

Although, some people report they feel more Sativa effects rather than Indica. This explains why users feel uplifted, focused, and sociable. However, ACDC can also help you wind down, rest, and relax because it’s half Indica. The flowers smell earthy, sweet, and skunky. The smoke will envelop your taste buds with lemongrass and cherry flavor.

Elektra

Genetics: (ACDC, Early Resin Berry)

Elektra is a modern CBD strain that has become quite popular among CBD enthusiasts. Elektra is sought after for its delicious aroma and taste. It boasts flavors that are reminiscent of red wine, citrus fruit, and chocolate.

Elektra flowers will usually test between 15% to 20% CBD and normally contain THC levels well below the legal limit. It’s great for those who want to enjoy using the plant and avoid any “head high”. Elektra is a Sativa dominant strain that offers users uplifting experiences along with mental clarity and motivation. Additionally, some people advocate that Elektra is a great strain for relief, relaxation, and rest when needed.

CBD Flower causes THE ENTOURAGE EFFECT

One of the most fascinating things about the cannabis plant is the entourage effect. This term was coined in 1999 by the famous cannabis researchers Raphael Mechoulam and Shimon Ben-Shabat. It refers to the synergistic effect in which all the compounds in the hemp plant work together to provide maximize the benefits of each other. So when you experience the full range of cannabinoids, terpenoids, and flavonoids together, the benefits of CBD are much more effective.

CBD Helps with cigarette cravings

There is some anecdotal evidence that when you smoke CBD hemp flower, it can curb cravings for cigarettes. This is one of the top reasons why CBD flower is one of the best products to help most people who smoke cigarettes finally kick their nasty habit. Furthermore, there is also research evidence that CBD itself can help with nicotine addiction via the endocannabinoid system (ECS). 

It’s important to note that CBD flower is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease that you may or may not have. Always consult a healthcare professional before consuming any CBD product to determine if you have any underlying conditions or are taking any medications that might conflict with your consumption of CBD products. 

CBD Hemp Flower Is Delicious & flavorful

The act of smoking hemp flower can be a pleasurable experience in and of itself. Some people enjoy rolling their own joints and take pride in the artful skill they develop. Many like to smoke CBD hemp flower because it delivers the pure flavor of cannabis. Other like how smoking hemp flower can help them wind down after a hard day at work. There are a wide range of reasons why people enjoy smoking hemp. It’s time you joined in on the fun, too!

It’s a cost-effective way to enjoy CBD

Smoking hemp flower is particularly effective, especially considering that some of the products on the market deliver over 100 milligrams of CBD per cigarette/hempette. Additionally, most CBD products require additional processing after the crop is complete, but hemp flower is ready for sale once it’s pruned and trimmed. Less processing time usually entails a lower price tag.

Yes, CBD flower from hemp is 100% legal throughout the United States. When the 2018 Farm Bill passed (December 11, 2018), it became legal for U.S. farmers to cultivate, process and sell hemp. Furthermore, this bill legalized the production and sales of a wide range of hemp CBD products nationwide. As long as the flower comes from hemp and the THC content remains at or below the 0.3% limit, it is legal within the U.S. Always ensure your hemp flower is legal by checking the third-party COA to make sure it does not exceed 0.3% THC.

First you need seeds or clones. You can buy the best cannabis seeds online here. Once the buds (flowers) reach full maturity, the next step is to harvest and process them for retail. Processing includes “curing” the buds and “trimming” them. The quality of processing can directly reflect in the end product. Therefore, premium CBD flower should always be manicured to perfection. After all, better quality buds equal more enjoyable smoke sessions. During cultivation, most growers will cure and trim down the flowers into neat little buds for the following reasons:

Once these hemp buds are manicured and dried, they are ready to be smoked! You can do this in any number of ways, including:

• Pipes: Regular tobacco pipes won’t work with hemp flower. Get a cannabis pipe with a carb (a small hole on the side that you can cover to control oxygen flow through the pipe). Cannabis pipes are almost always made of glass and come in an astounding array of artistic designs.
• Water pipes: Water pipes include bubblers, bongs, and hookahs. They work just like a regular pipe, except that they have a chamber filled with water, which filters and cools the smoke to make it less harsh on your lungs.
• Rolling papers: You can use rolling papers or blunt wraps to roll your own hemp joints/cigarettes/cigars. Alternatively, you can purchase CBD pre-rolls, which allow you to smoke right away without the hassle of rolling your own. However, many people enjoy the art of joint rolling and take pride in developing that skill.
• Vaporizers: When you think of a vape, you probably come up with an image of a cartridge filled with juice attached to a battery. However, another kind of vape – the herbal vaporizer – converts ground hemp flower into a smooth vapor.

If you want to get top-shelf CBD hemp flower, you need to know what to look for and what to avoid. We’ve put together a simple guide for you right here.
